Chief George Earle's (Bob Gunton) police badge from Marco Brambilla's Demolition Man. Chief George Earle wore his badge and uniform when he reinstated 20th Century LAPD sergeant John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) to the San Angeles Police Department and while serving with him.

Originating from the collection of prop master Mike Papac, this lot consists of a metal badge with a red dot in the center and the words "Order San Angeles." The back features a pin for attaching it to a costume and is hand-marked "Chief Earle" in black ink. It exhibits a bit of adhesive residue where the pin was attached. Dimensions: 3.5" x 3.5" x 0.5" (9 cm x 9 cm x 1.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
Mike Papac is among Hollywood’s most respected armourers. Active in the film industry since the late 1970s, he served as weapons specialist on action classics including Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, and as property gun master for Predator - all within an 18-month span. By the early 1990s, Papac had become a trusted resource for leading directors such as Tony Scott, Renny Harlin, and Richard Donner, collaborating throughout the decade with stars including Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. His career has encompassed work as prop master and armourer on some of cinema’s most successful franchises, from Iron Man and Man of Steel to acclaimed action comedies like Three Kings and Red. Original hero pieces from the Die Hard films are exceptionally rare, and Propstore is proud to present these examples from Mike Papac’s personal collection - offered to the public for the first time.
